- Patch #17955 by Neil: there was a subtle difference between form_select() and whatever taxonomy was doing.

- Ignore PHP5's strict warnings for now.  The real solution is to rewrite both xmlrpc.inc and xtemplate.inc.

- Modified patch #18328 by Neil: currently the two forum topic blocks share a number of topics in block setting. This is a bit confusing since configuring one blockshould not affect another block.  Fixed some indentation as well.

- Patch #17897 by Neil: changed the order of the joins so that a vocabulary which is not associated with any node types doesn't disappear.  Also removed a centered column that shouldn't be hard coded and, IMO, looked rather weird.

- Patch #17770 by chx: fixed module_invoke() and module_invoke_all() not to use NULL defaults (bugfix) + removed the limitation on the number of paramaters that can be used.

- Patch #18045 by JonBob: the node type admin page uses an unclear callback name, and uses arg() where it is not necessary. The attached patch cleans this up by unifying node_types() with node_types_configure().

- Patch #18123 by chx: the $return['distinct'] in the past should have been module_implements('node_grants') but after JonBob's node_access_view_all_nodes, that part happens only if node_grants is in effect, so it is simplified to 1.

  * split up the menu callback for editing/adding/deleting rules
  * improved the delete message
  * fixed a double page printing bug

- Patch #11645 by Uwe/Ber/Chris/me: improved the database settings.

   1. Removed a duplicate line from the changes to update.inc.
   2. Excluded the session.inc changes: they did not make sense to me.
   3. Excluded the search related changes in the node and search module. According to Steven these are not correct.

- The update for the twin comments was 'borken' and had several bugs.

- Clean URLs: search/type/keywords e.g. "search/node/drupal release". The search
  form is POST submitted, but drupal_gotos to a GET page. This makes it easy to
  copy/paste search URLs, and makes the pager a lot cleaner.

- Remember the search keywords when switching between the search tabs. This is
  done through the same GET URLs rather than the session, so it does not mess up
  between multiple browser tabs.

- Report which keywords were ignored because they were too short.

- #820: Provide search block

- Treat multiple wildcards in a row as one
